Last week 2hollis featured on his pal nate sib’s new EP for us. Now the hyperpop rapper is producing and appearing on his friend’s rommulas’ new tune “left to right,” which came out yesterday.

Back in February, for reasons still unclear, Bob Dylan posted an old video of Machine Gun Kelly rapping in a record store on his Instagram. When he’s not posting on social media, he’s been spending the past few days on Willie Nelson’s Outlaw Festival Tour, and last night in Spokane he brought out tourmate Billy Strings to do “All Along The Watchtower” with him.

The Belfast rap group Kneecap have always been politically outspoken, and lately that outspokenness has involved some major career tumult.

Take it for a spin yourself below.

Following his historic MSG residency, 76-year-old Billy Joel has still kept himself busy with quite a few stadium shows in the past few months. He was supposed to embark on another US/UK tour this year, but now all of those dates have been canceled due to Joel’s recent normal pressure hydrocephalus diagnosis. Also called NPH, it’s when cerebrospinal fluid builds up in your skull and presses on your brain.

In 2021, Afrika Bambaataa was sued for child sex trafficking. The hip-hop pioneer has lost the civil case after failing to show up in court. The plaintiff’s motion for a default judgment was “granted without opposition” in New York State’s Supreme Court by Judge Alexander M. Tisch.

Since the release of their 2023 album Heavy Heavy, Young Fathers were nominated for a Mercury Prize and contributed to the Ceasefire benefit EP to help Gaza. Today, the hip-hop group announced they’re scoring the forthcoming post-apocalyptic horror film 28 Years Later.
